Blackbirds in Kentucky

On a rainy Labor Day weekend Sunday...  these photo's aren't the best but these Blackbirds are something else.
 
 
For a couple weeks they've been landing in our tree's and land.  There's thousands of them.
 
 



 
I've been reading articles on how popular these little guys are. 
 
Some people call this the Blackbird Winter
Now the scare is they are spreading the West Nile Virus.
 
All I know is they've been invading this Central Kentucky area for a couple weeks.  The noise is amazing...  when they begin to arrive of a day, the clucking and clacking starts out slow and not so loud, then it's like someone turns the volume up and you can't hear yourself talking to the person next to you if you're outside.   Then all of a sudden, a loud WHOOSH happens when they all take off.
 
Imagine this right after you wash your car.  Or worse!  On your very light colored house.  sigh.
 
And Riley, the so called watch dog?  Well take a look below at what she does the best.... it's NOT bowling for blackbirds.
 
 
By the way, yes, I made this white, chevron crochet blanket for her.
It's not spoiling, she was just cold!
 
Blessings, Jean
